[There’s nothing but a boring background for a few minutes, then whiskers pop in from the side. A cat moves his face into the screen and starts walking over the keyboard.]

SQCOIKEBJ OIRE NOIEJGPOI B POEYGTKPH

[He plops down right in the middle and watches letters running across the screen. His head moves in the same direction. The letters aren’t stopping. He pokes at the growing line with his paw, meowing.]

Huh? Who let a cat on a computer?

[sanguine_corruptio_lamia]

[Someone’s talking! Where is he coming from?]

Meow?

[More poking at the screen.]

[absolute_perception]

[Elian tilts his head when he looks at the screen.]

I'm sorry, but your message is unclear. Cat isn't part of my translation protocols.

[He grins now.]

But, you are cute.

[sanguine_corruptio_lamia]

[All he gets from the keyboard is a long line of letters.]

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[Meanwhile, the cat opens his mouth in a wide yawn and rubs his head against the corner of the weird box. He’s hungry, and he doesn’t like the food in the cafeteria, especially that oatmeal.]

[absolute_perception]

[Okay, that did it. Time to find out exactly where this cat is and figure out the problem. Cats generally leave things alone unless they want something.]

Hm, I suppose looking for someone isn't really an option considering independence. I don't recommend hunting the mice here since they eat the creeping mushrooms that could be toxic...processing...

[sanguine_corruptio_lamia]

[Swish, swish, goes his tail, back and forth, back and forth. He is acting like a normal cat, just much smarter.

The cat nods, like it understands what he’s saying. He opens his mouth again, baring tiny fangs. No one except Ishtar can understand his meows and hisses.]

[absolute_perception]

You want something to eat?

[It's by process of elimination...maybe his guess is right? He waits for a reaction.]

[sanguine_corruptio_lamia]

[He nods. What a smart kid.]

[absolute_perception]

Okay. I'll find you something that doesn't look like it comes from a sci-fi movie.

[And now it's time to find the cat.]

Um...could you move aside so I can see where you are?

[saudadist]

[ A cat on a computer. There's something you don't see every day. ]

...interesting.

[sanguine_corruptio_lamia]

[A what? Duzell doesn’t know what the kid’s talking about.]

Meow.

[He stretches up on his hind legs and struts off to the side, showing the background: one of the random floors that had this weird box.]

[sanguine_corruptio_lamia]

[He hears more voices, a girl this time.]

Meow?

[His tail swishes forward and taps the screen.]

[saudadist]

[ Will this place just take anyone? Even animals? Strange. ]

Guess you don't have an owner, huh...

[sanguine_corruptio_lamia]

[Be careful, girl. You look tasty, and this kitty is hungry.

He rubs his head against the screen, whiskers all mashed up.]

[saudadist]

[ Oh, well, that's . . . actually kind of adorable. ]

Look, just... [ Sigh ] Stay put. I'll come find you.

[sanguine_corruptio_lamia]

[He stretches his mouth back and it kinda looks like a smile. As much as a cat could make. He moves off the keyboard to let her see what’s behind him. She’d better recognize that floor.]

[ooc: permission to bite? if not, it’s okay! :>]

[absolute_perception]

I think I better get back-up first.

[Because the last time he went out alone, he became a chew toy. No thanks.]

[saudadist]

[ The floor does look familiar, and in a few minutes, gotta love those wrong turns, she rounds a corner looking for him. This is the right floor, right? ]

Hey, cat...thing? Where...


[ ooc: Sure he can bite! He might get a bop on the head for it, but yes XD ]

[hero_of_smiles]

Uhhhh, you can't get to me kitty, I'm kind of somewhere else. I'm just talking to you through the computer.

[sanguine_corruptio_lamia]

Meow.

[When the girl gets there, the cat jumps off the podium and strolls over to her. He sniffs at her feet, using his vampire senses to scope her out. She looks human, but she smells different.]

[ooc: he’ll be nice! :c maybe~]

[sanguine_corruptio_lamia]

[Back up? For an innocent little kitty cat? These humans are so suspicious. Duzell almost feels like laughing, but he can’t do that in this form.

He meows again and rubs the side of the screen. Is the boy coming or what?]

[sanguine_corruptio_lamia]

[What’s a computer? Is that what this is called? Some weird sorcery he hasn’t seen before, letting humans talk to each other when they’re not really there.

He paws the screen, like he’s trying to jump through it.]

[absolute_perception]

[Elian sees the rubbing and sighs with his shoulders dropping.]

Okay, okay, if it's really that important that you need to eat, I'll come and get you. Gaara's not gonna like it that I went off alone again...you won't tell him, right?

[alexandrianite]

[She can't help but chuckle as she looks at the screen.]

You have about as much talent with this machine as I do, little on.

[sanguine_corruptio_lamia]

[A girl, and she looks like she has her guard down somewhat. If this one is easy to trick, then maybe he'll get to feed.]

Meow?

[He answers by ducking his head and licking the back of his paw, trying to look cute.]
